TONIGHT: OPENING AND BOOK PRESENTATION
Valentina Jaffé – Dripping Folds and Melting States
Friday, January 30, 2026, 6 pm
Rudolf-Scharpf-Gallery of the
@wilhelmhackmuseum , Ludwigshafen
→ Valentina Jaffé’s largest solo exhibition to date—about transformation, space, and the language of materials
„Dripping Folds and Melting States“ is published in conjunction with
@valentina.jaffe ’s most extensive institutional solo exhibition to date. Blending artist’s book and catalogue, the volume gathers works from the past five years by the young artist, who lives and works in the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region. In interdisciplinary and inter-media works, Jaffé explores the principle of collage—as an aesthetic as well as conceptual method. Her paper installations awash in color and ceramic objects examine transitions, imbrications, and the mutability of material conditions. Accompanying essays by Carolin Heel and Fedra Benoli add depth to her engagement with space, body, and material.
